Effect of lithium chloride on ornithine decarboxylase activity in rat adrenal.

Abstract:

:The effects of lithium chloride on ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity were compared in the adrenal and kidney of control (saline treated) and prolactin-treated rats. ODC activity was decreased in kidney of both groups of animals, the magnitude of the effect of lithium in the hormone-treated group varying with the time of administering the lithium relative to prolactin. The response in the adrenal was quite different. Following treatment with LiCl, there was a gradual increase in ODC activity from a low of 10-35 pmol CO2 x 30 min-1.mg protein-1 in control animals to values 20- to 30-fold greater at 5 h. In rats treated simultaneously with LiCl and prolactin, ODC activity was greater at 5 h than that observed in animals receiving either compound alone, indicating that their effects were additive. When LiCl was given 4 h after prolactin, i.e., 1 h before sacrifice, ODC activity decreased to a very low level at 5 h, as in other tissues. The increase in ODC activity in the adrenal following LiCl is of the same magnitude as the changes observed in tissues stimulated to undergo alterations in proliferation, differentiation, or metabolic or membrane activity by hormones and other external stimuli.
